People do want it, clearly, but it's too expensive for them.

Sales don't make people want things they otherwise don't.

literally almost everything I have bought on sale is something I wasn't looking to buy at that moment in time.

That is exactly what sales do. most sales are made sellings things to people they don’t want, until sales does what sales does

  • So people spent 60k on a cybertruck they don’t want? Do you believe that?

    • look around your house and see how much shit you got that you really want(ed). great salesman (and elon is the best in the history of the civilization) will sell you shit you never thought you wanted :)
